The Corporate Address Gazetteer is used to administer the Local Authorities address and streets (LLPG/LSG) database in accordance with BS7666 standard. The system underpins many Local Authority functions (eg Planning Process, Council Tax, Electoral Registration, Social Care, Education, Emergency Planning, works to Highways).
The current system is functioning well and needs to continue to remain operational.
It would not be prudent to initiate a project to replace the system at this moment in time, due to COVID-19 constraints. System specifications will be technically complex and a replacement project would carry significant risks to the Local Authority.
The decision is to remain with the current supplier for 12 months and undertake a more detailed market review during this time.
